@TrumpDailyPosts National security? Huh? Try again

[Matthew Miller @matthewamiller]

The Justice Department we have long known is dead. As in many authoritarian states, it now exists as an arm of the government to punish the president’s enemies, regardless of the law. A tragedy for the country with lasting implications, even if this case is dismissed.

I resigned from Trump's DOJ in Feb when I was pressured to drop NYC Mayor Adams' case.

NOTUS reports that since Trump took office, my section, Public Integrity, went from 36 people investigating public corruption to TWO. Who benefits? Corrupt politicians.

At no point does Homan deny accepting the cash from an undercover FBI agent in exchange for steering government contracts

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This is just an objectively crazy thing to say

[Liberal Lisa in Oklahoma @lisa_liberal]

Trumps making the WH lawn a UFC event. He’s built a patio over the rose garden. He’s in the process of building a ballroom. He’s covered the Oval Office in gold. Threw himself a military parade, and has golfed every weekend, on our dime.
But, we can’t have Medicaid & SNAP. 🙄

After signing a law that cuts food assistance by $187B over the next decade, The Trump admin now says it will stop measuring food insecurity. If you stop counting hunger, you don’t have to admit that people are hungry. This is a disaster.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

I still think this was a misfired DM, but either way, it's an order from a lawless president to violate the law and the constitution

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

So Trump’s DOJ tries to indict a guy on a federal felony for throwing a sandwich and the same Trump DOJ shuts down an investigation into one of their top officials for taking a big bag of cash (50 grand) on video in an undercover FBI investigation. Worried yet?

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

A senior White House official is caught on tape accepting $50K in cash in a paper bag in exchange for steering contracts, and that person will go to work on Monday, and the entire GOP will be fine with it.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes.

That’s what this is.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

This is clearly an impeachable offense.

The President is publicly ordering prosecutions that he admits are politically motivated.

He's only doing it because after he tried to steal both an election and highly classified state secrets, he was held accountable for breaking the law.

If you say things the president and his party don't like, you could lose your job or your money or your freedom.

If you pledge loyalty or give money, you can commit whatever crimes you'd like.

Call Trump whatever you want, but he and his government are a threat the rights and freedoms of every American, regardless of party.

Elected officials who believe in the Constitution shouldn't vote to keep it running.

@hugolowell And this is why affirmative action and DEI were necessary. Unqualified and under-qualified whites were/are routinely hired instead of nonwhite, more qualified candidates. Never tried a case and is the US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia?

[Ned Price @nedprice]

On a single Saturday in September:

--Trump instructed his AG to go after specific political enemies.
--We learned that his DOJ ended an investigation into his border czar, who was caught on camera taking a $50k cash bribe.
--His Pentagon top brass threatened to expel journalists who report info not cleared by them.
--His WH spoke to a shady deal that will see TikTok in the hands of a consortium of GOP mega-donors.
--Trump threatened "bad things" if we don't re-take Bagram AFB.
--His most senior counterterrorism official is in a Twitter spat with Laura Loomer.

None of this is normal. All of it is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. https://t.co/fDMqVwXGF2

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Trump DOJ shutting down investigation into apparently quite clear Homan bribery is bad on its own. But it's best to pair it with Trump firing the US attorney in eastern Virginia so that he can get someone to bring charges against Letitia James. Banner week for DOJ

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

BREAKING

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official.

But the Trump administration closed the investigation.
